Incorrect Host Printouts
There are five major types of incorrect printouts:
Some Characters are
Printed Incorrectly
• Characters like ä ü Ä Ü are printed as { } [ ]
Most likely an incorrect System Language has been selected.
Select the System Language matching your system configuration,
or ‘Load Translate table’ to make your Control Unit down-load
the System Language for you, see page 19.
• Characters like é ì ô ü are printed as e i o u
Your printer has not been set up for the character set matching the
ASCII Character Set selection in the Printer Driver. Make sure
that you have selected the correct Printer Driver. If this doesn’t
help, your printer may not be able to print all the characters that
the system produces. Print out the DBC-to-ASCII translation
table, see page 34, and compare this to the table on page 73. In
some cases it is possible to edit the translation table, or to select
another character set in your printer. Consult your distributor for
further details.
Corrupted Printouts
This is generally caused by selecting a Printer Driver not matching
your printer. The control commands will then be misinterpreted by
the printer, causing corrupted printouts. If changing Printer Driver
does not help, you can use the ASCII hexdump function (see page 56)
to locate the control commands causing the problem.
Incorrect Page Breaks
Most likely an incorrect Form Length setting. Recommended values
are listed on page 62 . Make sure that you have selected the correct
Printer Driver.
Lost characters at end
of line
Some laser printers cannot print a full line of 80 characters in 10 CPI.
Change the Characters per Inch setting to 12 CPI.
